In this episode, Jackie talks about the often hidden and unknown condition of childhood emotional neglect.  Our parents may understand the importance of providing for our physical needs as children, but when our emotional needs are neglected and not attuned to, we grow up feeling off.  We may question our feelings and our needs, we might struggle with self-esteem, and are unable to take appropriate risks.  And we may feel disconnected and empty and not understood.

In this final episode in the series on developing a solid sense of self, Jackie talks about how we develop a solid sense of self.  Jackie looks at what researchers in neuroscience are saying about how a self is developed and what trauma research tells us about healing in order to develop a solid sense of self.  

In this episode Jackie talks about self-care and how to approach caring for the self in a way that supports building a "self" and reinforcing the value and worth of who we are.  Self-care can be misunderstood or substituted as a hobby or a bubble bath or golfing.  Those may be things we enjoy and like to do, but is that self-care?
